RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

Using your new Cooker Hood is very simple. Nevertheless, to get the best results it is important that you read this manual thoroughly before installing and using your appliance for the first time.

INSTALLATION

???All installation and repairs should be carried out by a qualified technician in accordance to regulations in force.

???The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damage resulting

from incorrect or improper installation.

??? After having removed the packaging, check the condition of the appliance, if in any doubt, do not use and contact Hotpoint Service (see Key Contacts, back page).

???The minimum safety distance between the hob and the extractor hood is 600 mm.

???Check that the mains voltage corresponds to that indicated on the rating plate fixed to the inside of the hood.

??? For Class I appliances, check that the domestic power supply guarantees adequate earthing.

???Connect the extractor to the exhaust flue through a pipe of minimum diameter 120 mm. The route of the flue must be as short as possible.

???Do not connect the extractor hood to exhaust ducts carrying combustion fumes (boilers, fireplaces, etc.).

???If the extractor is used in conjunction with non-electrical appliances

(e.g. gas burning appliances), a sufficient degree of ventilation must be guaranteed in the room in order to prevent the backflow of exhaust gas. The kitchen must have a suitable vent to the outside of the building, so that clear fresh air can circulate through the kitchen.

INSTALLATION

Consult Fig.1A on page 4 of this manual, referenced in the text by alphabet letters. Closely follow the instructions set out in this manual. All liability, for any inconvenience, damage or fires caused by not complying with the

instructions in this manual, is declined.

The cooker hood must be placed at a minimum distance of 60 cm from the hob top for electric cookers and 75cm for gas or mixed cookers.

The hood is equipped with a top air outlet B for discharge of fumes to the outside (Ducting version ??? exhaust pipe and pipe fixing clamps not provided).

Should it not be possible to discharge cooking fumes and vapour to the outside, the hood can be used in the filter version, fitting an activated carbon filter and the deflector F

onto the support (bracket) G. Fumes and vapours are recycled through the top grille H by means of an exhaust pipe connected to the top air outlet B and the connection ring mounted on the deflector F (exhaust pipe and pipe fixing clamps not provided).

The models with no extraction motor only operate in ducting mode, and must be connected to an external extraction device (not supplied).

Preliminary information for installation of the hood:

Disconnect the hood during electrical connection, by turning the home mains switch off.

First decide which functioning version is better for you.

-Using a pencil, draw a line on the wall, extending up to the ceiling, to mark the centre. This will facilitate installation.

-Rest the drilling template against the wall: the vertical centre line printed on the drilling template must

-Adjust the horizontal position of the hood.

-From inside the extraction unit, use a pencil to mark the hole (4 holes) to be used for final fixing of the hood.

Remove the hood from the bracket. Drill at the points marked (2 x ??8mm).

-Insert 4 wall plugs.

-Rest the chimney support bracket G against the wall, touching the ceiling. Use the support bracket as a

-Apply the chimney stacks and fasten them at the top to the chimney support G using 2 screws.

-Slide the bottom section of the chimney down until it completely covers the suction unit and slots into the

housing provided on top of the hood.

Refit the grease filter/s and check that the hood is operating correctly.

Electrical Connection

WARNING: This appliance MUST be earthed. Connect to a 230 - 240V A.C. Supply only.

???Connection to the electricity supply should be made via a properly earthed, readily accessible wall socket which is adjacent to and not more than 1.25m away from the appliance and capable of electrical isolation.

Should this plug not fit the socket outlet in your home it should be cut off and replaced with a suitable plug as outlined below.

Note: The removed plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should therefore be properly disposed of and not left where children might find it and plug it into a supply socket - with the obvious consequent danger.

IF THE FITTED PLUG IS REMOVED

The flexible mains lead must be correctly connected as below, to a three pin plug of not less than 13 amp capacity. If a B.S.1363 fused plug is used, it must be fitted with a 3amp fuse which is approved to B.S.1362.

IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead fitted to this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code:

GREEN and YELLOW - EARTH

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:- The wire which is green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbolor coloured green or green and yellow. The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red. When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely retained in each terminal. Do not forget to tighten the mains lead clamp on the plug. As the appliance must be earthed, DO NOT use 2-pin socket outlets, if you are in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this operation be carried out by a qualified electrician and should only be replaced with a flexible cord of the same size ie. 0.75mm2 cross sectional area and temperature rating of 85??C eg. heat resisting PVC.

IF A MOULDED PLUG IS FITTED

In the event of replacing a fuse in the plug supplied a 3amp ASTA approved fuse to B.S.1362 must be fitted.

Note: The fuse cover must be refitted when changing the fuse. In the event of losing the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement fuse cover has been obtained and fitted. A new fuse cover can be obtained from your local Electrical Retailer. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that of the coloured marks or inserts in the base of the plug.
